He and Troy Brown were arguably the best WR tandem the Patriots have ever had. All due respect to 2007 Moss/Welker of course.

I remember he was loading coffee beans or something along those lines when the Pats signed him off the street. Always will remember that back-corner end zone catch against the Rams in the SB. Good luck, David.

All those years with the same coach and mediocrity and then poof! 3 championships. Unnnnlikely.

Good job Patten, welcome back to Cullowhee.

Bout time App gets pushed up to a FBS conference.

Good for Patten tho, wish him the best. Glad he’s back in NC.

But back to the point, only time you heard about him was about his on the field production. Wish him nothing but the best.
